Topic: Dates...as in toppings. (Read 797 times)

I just fired up my Primavera 70, and it works like a pro. Now I want to experiment, so I bought a package of dates from a local Italian market. They have a very tough skin on them, and I'm having a tough time getting the insides out of the fruit. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to use dates as a topping, or even how to get the skin off the dates? Thank you!

When I use dried fruit, I soak it in rum or some other liquor for a few hours first. It really softens it up. I've enver tried dates on pizza, but I'm guessing that you're right in taking off the skins, however I'd soak before I decided, maybe they will get soft enough.
